“Lionel Messi is here … “
A trailer released Monday for the new Apple TV+ docuseries, “Messi Meets America,” kicks off with these words — reminding us of those surreal and heady summer days after the soccer superstar announced his plans to join MLS and don the pink-and-black colors of South Florida’s team, Inter Miami.
The “highly anticipated documentary event” is set to premiere Wednesday, Oct. 11, with three episodes presented on the first day, and additional ones “closely following the Major League Soccer action to be released later in the season,” according to an Inter Miami CF statement.
The docuseries promises to take viewers behind the scenes as Messi joins his new squad and helps secure victories — even winning a Leagues Cup title, the team’s first championship.
“From selling out record crowds across America at breakneck speed, to his incredible last-minute, game-winning goal in his very first match, to moments with Messi and his Inter Miami CF teammates, the series chronicles Leo’s immersion in America, the remarkable journey and transformation of Inter Miami CF, and most significantly, the impact he is currently having on soccer in North America,” according to the statement.
